I drove up to Port Townsend yesterday to visit Admiral Ship Supply to pick up some epoxy for the intermediate sealing coat, and to visit a friend from Alaska. If you have read all of this thread, you know I was bemoaning my inability to find supplies locally for this build. I was pretty sure I should be able to find everything I needed in Port Townsend, as it is a major wood boatbuilding center in the USA. Moreover, it is home port for a significant population of wooden fishing vessels. Admiral Ship Supply is located in the heart of the port area, and it is, in my view, the place to go for general supplies and a significant number of tools.  http://admiralshipsupply.com
I was able to find Sika products, as well as the 3M 5200 and 400 line of adhesives, plus a few different epoxy systems, including WEST and System Three (I decided on the WEST System because of its ubiquity).

Another supplier I found in Poulsbo is Longboat Marine. This shop is worth a destination type visit if you have plenty of free time. The owner has what amounts to a used marine supply store going on. Tools, scuppers, air vents, electrical parts, blocks, hinges, dinghies, etc. It is a small place, but fascinating in its array of offerings. And the owner will order anything you may think you want and get you fast delivery at very competitive prices. I can't get out of there without spending money. Plus Sluy's Bakery is just down the street and you can get tasty treats. The Poulsbohemian Coffee Shop up the street just past the Sons of Norway Hall also makes the best vanilla lattes I have found in North Kitsap County. Central Kitsap County too for that matter.

But the find of the day was Edensaw Woods.  http://www.edensaw.com/MainSite/Stor...Home/Main.aspx I met my friend from Alaska at Admiral Ship Supply, and he brought along his brother-in-law, George. George is a fisherman and fishing vessel owner, and as we were having lunch, he offered to take me up to Edensaw Woods so I could browse the lumber and tool selection (I had mentioned I might try to find some teak to make sea rails for the table I have in mind). George is a great guy, fantastic guy, the guy when you meet him you say to yourself, "I wish I could be like that guy." So we went to Edensaw Woods, and I was stunned. Turns out they are a major supplier throughout the US of specialty woods. They supply my vendor in Anchorage with the Baltic Birch that is in my drawer system in my Subaru. I was talking with the owner, and it turns out that he has the 3/4 " Baltic Birch in marine grade that I was looking for to build the Sawtooth. In fact, I could have bought the entire package from him and they would deliver it for free. Holy Buckets! A week or two of aggravation gone if I had but known! I knew such a place must have existed around here, but I just couldn't get vectored in until I met a vessel owner who had to constantly upgrade and maintain his vessel for the Alaska fishing industry. The lumber warehouse (not the lumber showroom, which is stunning in and of itself) just blew me away. From tree trunks sawed into 6-inch planks, to 14"x16"x15 ft purpleheart beams, to the latest Columbia Forest Products formaldehyde free plywoods, and so much more. It was like nothing I've ever seen before.

I closed out the day by driving to Harbor Freight in Port Angeles and picking up a few things, including a tongue box. I dropped them off at Wayne's place, and it turns out the angles on the tongue box almost match the angles on the Sawtooth XL frame. I will be able to give you a better idea when I get everything painted and bolted together.
